Hello friends! This time around we don't have much to say or exciting news, this is just a big BIG BIIIIG THANK YOU for the incredible support you've shown this little free game so far.

- It's a SUMMER SALE - 24 June 2022
Hello friends, it's been a while, hasn't it? We hope you had a wonderful time playing our small Visual Novel. After kinking out a few bugs, the resonance has been tremendous. Thousands of downloads, overwhelmingly positive reviews, so many screenshots... thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, this is so much more than expected. We were working tirelessly to make this game a great experience for everyone. Since launch, we added a higher contrast mode for better accessability, repaired the achievment system, made sure the game is Steam-Deck ready... We think we're in a good state. In case you have missed it, we also just recently overhauled our shop presence with a few images. Not much, but it now looks cleaner. As you know, the STEAM SUMMER SALE just started! And of course we are part of it! DO check out the Soundtrack and Deluxe edition, both available on Steam and discounted by 50%.…
- Hotfix 1.3 - 3 May 2022
Hello friends, just a quick hotfix that (hopefully) fixes some weird behaviour regarding the True Blackwing achievement. At each startup now the unlocked CGs are counted and synched with the achievement. Additionally, the internal logic of counting should be more robust as well. So if you've been hit by the "0 progress" issue despite having unlocked all images, in theory after the next startup of the game it should properly count. (Fingers crossed). Sorry for the inconvenience!
- Patch 1.2 was released! - 23 April 2022

Hello, friends! We haven't posted an update in a while. That's because we are trucking on full steam (heh, pun intended) ahead towards our planned release! Demo changes First and foremost: we want to thank you all for following this game and trying our demo. Without you all this game wouldn't have been possible. After some user feedback there are two minor changes to the demo: - We fixed a bug that sometimes not all images would show as intended. This was caused by a faulty version of the engine, and is now resolved - We completely overhauled the Tanaka sprite! Additionally, there is now a thread on our community boards here on Steam where you can leave your suggestions and complaints about the demo. Please check it out and give your honest feedback! Overhauled Steam presence As you might have seen, we completely oberhauled our shop presence on Steam. The new banners and images reflect…
